More than 150 heads of states
and delegates will gather in a UN environmental conference in Paris on November
30th in order to discuss how to slow down environmental destruction
and how to parcel out the rights for more destruction. The heads of different
imperialist powers including from the US and Russia along with delegates from
big and small states of the world capitalist order will participate in this
conference. On the opposite side, a broad spectrum of environmental activists, anti capitalist movements and revolutionary communists have
prepared variety of activities in order to protest the rulers of the world,
expose their policies and destructive workings of their capitalist system which
has caused environmental crisis. Moreover, tens of thousands of people from
four corners of the world were preparing to join the protests in Paris. But the
French imperialists used the pretext of criminal assaults of the Islamic
fundamentalists in Paris on November 13, 2015 in order to ban all planned
street protests. Some of the organizers have given in but a significant
minority has defied this and has declared that people will march in groups on
Sunday, November 29th in streets of Paris.

Under the same pretext, the
French authorities have militarized Paris and its suburbs. Immigrant
neighborhoods, especially those areas with Moslem population are under siege
and even under military assault. At the borders and entrance gates of Paris,
the French security forces have detained and deported activists from different
countries that were going to take part in environmental protests. Under the
guise of respecting the lost lives in the criminal attacks of November 13, the
state institutions have distributed millions of tri- color flags of the French
imperialists which itself is soaked with bloods shed in its imperialist
colonial wars of conquest and the French media is constantly beating drums of
chauvinist imperialist patriotism. Attempts to suppress peoples protests against
environmental destruction are in fact an extension and complementary to all of
this.

Imperialist powers have waged
wars and shed blood in order to impose reactionary local states and conditions
of super-exploitation on the peoples of the countries they dominate. And at
the same time, they have run their own societies through democratic
demagogueries and police suppression and ghettoizing immigrants and packing up
the oppressed in prisons. In addition to all this, they have led the planet
Earth to the brinks of whole sale destruction. These powers have no right to
ban activities which are organized in order to expose their all
around crimes. They have no right to ban refugees from entering and
staying in Europe. They have no right what so ever, to gain legitimacy through
using the crimes of the Islamic fundamentalists and their reactionary ideology
and outmoded social programs. Because, they themselves have committed the
biggest of all crimes against humanity and their ideology and social system is
outmoded as well. These arrogant exploiters and destroyers very well know who
the main perpetrator in destruction of the environment is. Therefore, even in
this case, they are attempting to hide their bloody hands behind the Islamic
fundamentalists and buy some legitimacy for themselves.

Forces released as a result of
instability in the ecosystems of the Earth are thousands times more destructive
and deadly than those of nuclear explosions and their impacts are even more
irreparable. This disaster has found such dimensions that in 2014 the UN warned
against serious and irreparable damage on ecosystems and life on Earth. The
polar ice is melting and collapsing and natural glaciers are disappearing.
Temperature is rising in leaps and bounds. Rain forests and coral riffs, many
plant and animal species are being annihilated in mind blowing speed. Draught
and floods take their turns in impoverishing the already impoverished peoples
of the world. It is predicted that in the next ten years millions of people
will perish as a result of combination of draught, flood and other consequences
of warming of the Earth. And the same situation will push hundreds of millions
more to move from one corner of the earth to the other in desperate search for
survival. It is said that future wars will happen over water and we will
witness unprecedented and unexpected events as a result of turbulence in the
ecosystems of the Earth.

In Iran, environmental
destruction is emptying seas and lakes from life. In the Caspian Sea a mind
bugling contention is going on over exploration and drilling of petroleum and
gas from sea floors. As a result, there has been whole sale annihilation of
certain kinds of fish and the coastal waters have been polluted to the point of
risking lives and resources of local people. Environmental researchers warn
that the Caspian waters are full of cancer causing pollutants. Plundering of
forest lands by the powerful members and agents of the Islamic Republic and
turning the forest and farm lands into city lands, eliminating the rest of the
forest lands by dumping city garbage and poisoning the river waters as a result
of pesticide used in intensive agriculture are all among environmental achievements
of the Islamic Republic capitalist system in Iran.

There has to be no doubt that
the powers that have congregated in this conference in order to find ways to
deal with environmental disaster, can not do so even
if they want to. They can not even tame the
exponential speed of environmental destruction. In order to do so they have to
change whole ways, structures and fundamentals of industrial and agricultural
production. And this, they can not do because for
capitalists it is tantamount to committing suicide. For example, the main bulk
of productions in the world are carried out using fossil fuels and more
importantly, war machines of big and small powers of the world run on the basis
of fossil fuels.

Economic, social and political
system of capitalism has driven the Earth to the brinks. Environmental crisis
in combination with destructive wars and bestial exploitation of work force,
massive unemployment, revival of slavery and other sicknesses arising from
virulent attacks of capitalism against every corner of the world has made
overall situation of humanity unbearable. This situation is a constant factor which
delegitimizes capitalism and its rulers, even in the eyes of better off
population in the imperialist citadels. As part of managing the environmental
crisis, the big powers and other reactionary states, are even preparing to
militarily suppress future environmental rebellions.

The Paris conference can
produce unprecedented agreements around dealing with this problem. But
profitability needs of capitalism as well as military necessities of each and
every one of these powers who are locked in deadly rivalry with each other will
abort and distort any serious plan for saving the Earth. The capitalist system can not be reformed  even in this sphere. Because its
essential internal dynamics runs against well being
of environment and this will be the case as long as capitalism is allowed to
live.

The road to save environment
is one and the same road as humanitys emancipation from the clutches of class
divided society. The majority of the people of the world, even those strata that
under capitalism are better off than the exploited and oppressed people, can
and must awaken to this reality and turn to only solution which is revolution.
Because, only revolution can overthrow domination of capitalism over very life
of the Earth and lives of the people of the world and in this way, open the
doors for establishing a radically different social system which would be based
on voluntary and conscious association of all human beings in producing their
livelihood. Only such society which is called communism can repair
damages done to environment and pass on the planet earth to future generations
in an enriched state. Lets move before it is too late.
